An Olympic high diver has gravitational potential energy because of her height. As she dives, kinetic energy becomes of her energy just before she hits the water.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position when it is present in a gravitational field. In simple terms, it can be said that gravitational potential energy is an energy that is related to gravitational force or to gravity.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles.

When the high diver is standing stable and not moving , that diver has a gravitational potential energy because of the height . The moment she dives , before hitting the water , from being stationary she gained some momentum and come in motion , due to motion her gravitational potential energy will change to kinetic energy before hitting the ground.

Determine the kinetic energy of a 10 Kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 2m/s.
skelet666 [1.2K]

In this question all required information's are already provided. Based on these details the answer to the question can be easily determined. Let us now write down all the information's that are already given.

Mass of the roller coaster = 1000 kg

Velocity of the roller coaster = 20.0 m/s

We know the formula for finding the kinetic energy is

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity) ^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * (20)^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * 400

                      = 200000 Joules

So the Kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 joules.

i hope this helps you friend good luck on your quiz or lesson

Can you explain to be the definition of Quantum Theory?
Vanyuwa [196]
Quantum Theory is commonly related to Quantum Mechanics, or the physics of sub-atomic particles. Quantum Theory defines the theories or educated ideas behind Quantum Mechanics. I believe this is the answer you are looking for.
